6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your bed frame.
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

- Squeak Prevention: If squeaking occurs, identify the source and apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to the contact points.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frame is unstable or wobbly. | Loose bolts or incorrect assembly. | Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. Review assembly instructions to confirm correct setup. |
| Squeaking noises. | Metal-on-metal contact or loose connections. | Identify the source of the squeak. Tighten any loose bolts. Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to contact points between metal parts or where slats meet the frame. |
| Mattress slides on the frame. | Lack of sufficient friction between mattress and slats. | Some slats include rubber stripping to prevent this. If sliding persists, consider placing a non-slip mattress pad or rug gripper between the mattress and the slats. |
